HYDROPONIC PRODUCTION SYSTEM

摘要

Hydroponic system (1) to allow automatic production of fodder crops includes frame (2) supporting pairs of superimposed tracks (5-6) which are oppositely inclined and carry rollers to allow movement of trays (7) under gravity therealong. Trays (7) pass from upper track (5) to lower track (6) by sliding onto the platform of transfer station (8) which then pivots down, due to the overcoming of the tension of a spring, so as to align with lower track (6) onto which tray (7) slides. At the end of the bottom track, trays (7) may be inverted, to tip out the crop for harvesting, and for washing of trays (7) which may then be reseeded.
